Christina Tonnesen-Friedman : Canonical classes on admissible bundles (Dec 11, 2007 4:25 PM)

For each K¨ahler class on a compact K¨ahler manifold there is a lower bound of the Calabi functional, which we call the ``potential energy''. Fixing the volume and letting the K¨ahler classes vary, the energy defines a functional which may be studied in it?s own right. Any critical point of the energy functional is then a K¨ahler class whose extremal K¨ahler metrics (if any) are so-called strongly extremal metrics. We take the well-studied case of Hirzebruch surfaces and generalize it in two different directions; along the dimension of the base and along the genus of the base. In the latter situation we are able to give a very concrete description of the corresponding dynamical system (as defined first by S. Simanca and L. Stelling). The talk is based on work in progress with Santiago Simanca.
